I do not understand what this is supposed to be about.

What is this "Euro Cloud" and what does it have to do with "ERP, manufacturing execution systems, CRM, and product lifecycle management (aircraft designs)"?

For example I am not aware that Microsoft, Amazon or Google offer any PLM services. The companies offering those would be Siemens, Dassault and so on. Is the issue that those PLM providers are themselves running on Microsoft, Amazon or Google Services? But then the issue is with Airbus needing to force their suppliers into changing where there services are delivered from, but AFAIK these PLM providers offer on prem services, so it seems like a relatively trivial issue.

What exactly is the "Euro Cloud" supposed to mean here, what is the actual issue with Airbus switching their PLM to on prem? TO be honest I find it hard to imagine that this isn't already the case. So what is going on here?

I explicitly pointed out what the article was lying about.

"You cannot see how fft or ode45 are implemented under the hood." is a totally false statement. You absolutely can do exactly that. This is not a matter of opinion. Right click the function and open it, you can view it like any other matlab function.

> From perspective of open / closed source -- maybe for you it qualifies as open source

Matlab is obviously not open source. Who said anything about that? The article claims you can not audit ode45, that is false and it seems pretty embarrassing for someone speaking authoritatively about matlab to make such basic claims, which every matlab user can disprove with two clicks. Every single matlab user has the ability to view exactly how ode45 is implemented and has the ability to audit that function. This is not a matter of opinion, this is a matter about being honest about what matlab offers.

Julia competes with the scientific computing aspect of matlab, which is easily the worst part of matlab and the one which the easiest to replace.

Companies do not buy matlab to do scientific computing. They buy matlab, because it is the only software package in the world where you can get basically everything you ever want to do with software from a single vendor.

What a terrible article. The author does not understand matlab at all and he is also either lying or totally clueless.

Matlab is successful because of precisely one thing, which nobody has replicated. It offers a complete software environment from one source.

Nowhere else can you get scientific computing, a GUI toolkit, a high level embedded software environment, a HiL/SiL toolkit, a model based simulation environment, a plotting and visualization toolkit and so much more in a single cohesive package. Nobody else has any offering that comes even close.

>The engine is closed source. You cannot see how fft or ode45 are implemented under the hood. For high-stakes engineering, not being able to audit your tools is a risk.

This is just a lie. Open matlab and you can inspect all the implementation details behind ode45. It is not a black box.

>The Cloud Gap: Modern engineering happens in CI/CD pipelines, Docker containers, and cloud clusters. Integrating a heavy, licensed desktop application into these lightweight, automated workflows is painful.

Another lie. See: https://de.mathworks.com/help/compiler/package-matlab-standa... Mathworks has done everything hard for you already. I do not understand why the author feels the need to authoritatively speak on a subject he absolutely does not understand.

Maybe off-topic, but what is going on with this website?

"Step forward the ‘fully biodegradable’ shoe that leaves no footprint" - Hilariously awful idea. Which sane person wants shoes which are designed to literally disintegrate?

"The smartphone for children that blocks porn" - AI being used to surveil children phones for nudity. (???)

"Solar project reimagines railway network as clean energy lifelines " Literally Solar roadways again. Which is a idea worthy of so much ridicule.

Having jobs for the sake of having jobs is a ridiculous proposition. Copywriting is largely obsolete. Sure, it sucks to be in that profession right now, but what alternative is there. A Machine does your job far cheaper than you and even right now it is "good enough" to replace everything but the most complex and demanding writing.

If the manufacturing economy of Europe looses out to China, which currently seems very likely, I, and millions of other people, will be out of a job, with no possible chance of ever earning anything close to a reasonable wage.

Who cares about AI. The EU is loosing on everything.

>China is in this position because of regulations

Then the regulations of the EC just fucking sucked and destroyed all chances of the EU ever having a competitive software industry.

I am not a "tech bro" at all. Read the post, my salary is part of European manufacturing.

Competition by whom? The entire EU software industry is completely pathetic.

The EU has been regulating the US tech for over a decade. In that time the EU has only fallen further behind.

Meanwhile China has been steadily moving towards being an actual competitor to the US, while the EU is loosing the one large industry which it has left, manufacturing, to China.

This whole thing is pathetic. Of the goal of the EC ever was the creation of a competitive EU software industry it was a total failure and it was bound to be a total failure. Because what they did were idiotic regulations.

Everything the regulations have accomplished is that trying to compete in the EU puts such an enormous legal burden on any prospective competitor that failure is guaranteed.

The idea that just because Europe still has some profitable businesses left, there is no need to compete for global technological leadership is so absurd that even putting it into words is hard.

E.g. Germany, the largest EU economy, is very dependent on their car export industry. Guess which industry isn't too hot right now? Do you think you salary will survive the EU losing their export markets? Mine surely will not.

It isn't just AI. So much of the US "Tech"/VC scene is doing outright evil stuff, with seemingly zero regard for any consequence or even a shred of self awareness.

So much money is spent on developing gambling, social media, crypto (fraud and crime enabler) and surveillance software. All of these are making people's lives worse, these companies aren't even shy about it. They want to track you, they want you to spend as much time as possible on their products, they want to make you addicted to gambling.

Just by how large these segments are, many of the people developing that software must be posting here, but I have never seen any actual reflection on it.

Sure, I guess developing software making people addicted to gambling pays the bills (and more than that), but I haven't seen even that. These industries just exist and people seem to work for them as if it was just a normal job, with zero moral implications.

The idea of getting quizzed on how good you are at recalling specific patterns in algorithm construction is completely and utterly bizarre.

I get that some people feel forced into it, but nobody can believe that this is an appropriate measure to judge programmers on. Sure, being able to understand and implement algorithms is important, but this is not what this is training for.

The F-35 program was a complete disaster, with enormous delays, cost overruns and very long lists of issues.

Right now it is also the single most advance combat airplane, built in any number, which exists anywhere in the world and guarantees that the USA will be able to convincingly assert air dominance in any conflict.

Commercial jet airliners, which in all likelihood you have flown with, have system controllers which intentionally dereference the null pointer. Yes, I have seen the code, the intention was an integrity check at startup, which computed a checksum of the memory, which included the value stored at address zero.

Major commercial airliners have system controllers where the measuring is done as follows: Write into the code some instruction which flips some output bit, hook the system up to a test rig and then get an oscilloscope. With the oscilloscope measure how long it takes between bit flips. The instructions for the measurements get commented out for the final release.

Yes, I have done this. By the way, these measurements of course have to be part of the certification.

Crypto is an absolutely fascinating technology, which solved a seemingly impossible problem in an ingenious way. The entire theory behind it is absolutely amazing, which is something the anti-crypto people rarely acknowledge.

Simultaneously the only use case people have found for it are defrauding people, hiding illicit financial transactions and gambling that some line will go up. Which is something pro-crypto people rarely acknowledge.

>The Fourier Transform is one of deepest insights ever made.

No, it is not. In fact it is quite a superficial example of a much deeper theory, behind functions, their approximations and their representations.

Absolutely correct. The real issue is that these people can avoid punishment. If you do not care enough about your paper to even verify the existence of citations, then you obviously should not have a job as a scientist.

Taking an academic who does something like that seriously, seem impossible. At best he is someone who is neglecting his most basic duties as an academic, at worst he is just a fraudster. In both cases he should be shunned and excluded.

Reading this thread many people do not seem to understand what to the problem even is. What researchers writing Papers want is a low effort/high flexibility way to write documents (Nobody wants to write their paper in HTML). For a paper to be printed it needs to be in some printable format, like PDF. To provide accessibility and accommodate the changing ways papers are read, which is increasingly online, HTML is also a desirable output.

What really is needed is a markup language which natively can target both PDF and HTML. This is something typst is working on, but I am not aware of any other project, which either comes close to the features of LaTeX or supports both target formats.

To me this is the only reasonably way to address the accessibility and usability issues around Papers. Have one markup, with sufficient accessibility features, which simultaneously targets HTML and PDF.

Yes, many parts of German cities have a majority of non-germans. This is not uncommon, it doesn't help that the minority of the German youth in those areas is integrating themselves into the immigrant culture.

>The German government is one of the few on Earth that seems to actually hate its native populace.

They certainly don't hate the pensioners or the people on welfare. Just the native youth, which will have to bear the burden for all of this, but does not get to decide.

But the reason is absurd. None of this propaganda is effective in any way, the influence is irrelevant.

Yes, the past definitely wasn't that cute, but outright denying that it was not very different is just as absurd.

The definition of "normal" has drastically changed, even over the last few decades. A hundred years ago much of the societal structures still revolved around farming (which it had for thousands of years before that), something which now only involves a small minority of people.

People love to look at the past, not as it existed, but superpositioned over reality as it exists now.

And this mean I should allow the EU to surveil all my communications? That is a pretty bizarre argument.

>It's not only Russia, it's also China

Those have even worse reputations than Russia and even fewer and more fringe supporters. Iran shills are solely Iranian nationals or their descendants. China shills are some niche communists.

The insanity of YouTube is their absolute dedication to forcefully introduce features nobody wants and to neglect all aspects of the site which are in desperate need of fixing.

The videos on the start page are still misaligned. Which looks almost hilariously amateurish.

This is such an insane stance. The proposal of chat control is surveillance of most private communication.

Blaming Russia is such a tiresome stance. Russian propaganda is so bad and so hilariously ineffective that it penetrates only small bubbles inside political parties, even after years of propaganda.

Also the current German government includes the historically most notorious Russian shill party.

The laws are absolutely the issue and if you are tearing down democracy to "preserve democracy", you just see democracy as a useful propaganda tool, for the sake of your own power.

>it's not an industry where you save 10$ on parts and are able to pocket that

Why not? If you pay the suppliers 20 dollars less for those parts for each car, that is pure profit.

Keep in mind that cars are priced and developed for specific market segments. Cars aren't developed and then a price is decided based on what the components cost. Also keep in mind that some of the most exclusive and luxurious cars in the world (Lamborghini and Bugatti) share parts with some of the most mundane mass produced cars from VW.

So much of the Internet is broken if you don't have a VPN (and much of it is broken if you do). But the consequence of circumventing laws through VPNs will inevitably be bans on VPNs for individuals. By the way, the people who are writing these laws aren't clueless 60 year olds who need help operating their phones. The EU politicians pushing through chat control understand what they are doing.

The idea of a global internet is becoming increasingly infeasible and I believe that China is just ahead of its time. If you look at the UK, it is really just a matter of time until they figure out that the real issue they are having is that, the Internet allows communication with entities they can not enforce their laws on. The logical consequence for them will be to deny access entirely. The same seems true for the EU, which is moving in a similar direction.

What kind of insane dichotomy is this? If you are 17 you can do so much with your life which isn't either grinding away making banking apps (if you want to do that, you can do that for the next 50 years of your life) or dying in a war.

Do you genuinely believe that my argument is that OP should have went into a war zone as a soldier instead? If not, why bring that up at all?
